As with all 'up and coming' players that show initial 'potential' it's difficult to accurately predict how good a player Moore is likely to be until he fully matures.

We'll just have to wait and see, at the end of the day he's only 30!!!!

It does drain the colour away from your face.

Kirke is a massive fan of weight lifting. Shame he doesn't pull his own on the rugby field.

Add this one to the list, Leeds in talks with St George's in form forward Adam Cuthbertson, remember him from WCC, thought he looked good. www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... 1kg67.html [iLeeds, Hull KR and St Helens have all begun talks with Purcell to entice the Dragon to Britain next year. ''There is plenty of interest in him, so it's not like he's going to go without a club,'' Purcell said. ''But he quite possibly could end up offshore, which is a shame because we saw stuff in him on Saturday night to suggest he could still be an elite footy player in this country.''[/i

Kirke - Seven hit-ups V Hull. That's around his average for the season.

According to Bill Arthur, Buderus is gone for 2012 (comment made around the 60th minute of commentary) so if correct, all eyes on the Leeds CEO to produce the world class replacement he intimated would be required to grant the release.

No pressure Gary ...... when you're ready?

Southstand rebuild put on hold for 12 months so money can be used for transfer fees for Rangi Chase and Richard Owen?

Think Cuthbertson would be a good signing, but we need a quality signing, one that stands out, like Buderus when we signed him.

Unfortunately it's not quite as easy as that. I'd be happy with Cuthbertson for starters though based on what I saw against the Broncos.

I've got my season ticket renewal pack though, so expect any announcements any day now.

I have every intention of renewing either way, but I'm not doing so until we've announced more than Richard Moore. I might even wait until I get the "Why haven't you renewed" phone call, and say... "Why haven't you got rid of McDermott?".



I know 3 people who aren't renewing next year. On a plus note though, one of them is the miserable tw[ia[/it that stands near me, so that's a good thing.

Yes it's season ticket renewal time so new signings to be announced soon?!

Lets hope so and hopefully it won't include "Even at 30 and way past it he has stacks of potential"!

You've gotta admit though... the Southstand have outdone themselves with the Spandau Ballet inspired "Richard Moore" chant. It's class!!

Anyone else think this Cuthbertson rumour is just his agent trying to get a better NRL offer?

Let's hope so but Gary H always seems to make signing announcements at the last minute!
So far Rhinos have only announced departures (with the exception of Richard Moore who is not a high profile signing). Senior, Ali, Cross, Burgess, Buderus(not yet announced), Coady, Smith?, Amor?. It's thought that Webb and Leuluai are also on reduced contracts so there is plenty of space below the cap. Even Griffin has not yet been confirmed.
GH must have made some signings already so why not tell us! An experienced centre, half-back and a forward are needed for next year so we can challenge at the top of Super League again. Cuthbertson is a very good player and I hope we get him but I have to agree it might only be the agent playing tricks! Has anybody got any ideas if GH has got some signings up his sleeve?

I would imagine if the griffin rummor is true will be announced after Fridays game. Should have plenty of money left under cap, however I can't see that there are any "big" star name signings coming.

The big anouncement might be Senior to re sign!!!

If the Rhinos get Cuthbertson that will be an excellent signing and haven't you been informed that Matai is joining us? There's then only Chase to sign as the new half-back!

I have been told regarding matai, however don't think I believe it. Agree cuthbertson would be a good signing

rhino 2009 - please stop obsessing over signings and rumours of signings unless you're an undercover journalist looking for a scoop, then it's alright.

I get it - you're not in the know - join the club.

I thank you, very proud of my efforts! Took a bit of tweaking as I don't say it "More" like you Yorkshire lot!

I'm not a journalist just a Leeds supporter for over 40 years. Probably like you I'm getting impatient about no signing announcements and the only news is about players leaving! I'm trusting GH to deliver some quality signings (like Cuthbertson) but wish he would soon share the news with us! After waiting so long since winning the championship, the last few years have spoiled us and I want us to stay at the top by supplementing our talented inhouse players with a few quality outside recruits.

Cuthbertson, why would we want another second rower - prop ? Unless we aint signing griffin or we are letting Amor and Ambler go then the only other reason I can find to sign him is because we are not signing a centre and utilsing Delaney and Amblett there.

Just curious as to why you put a 'm' in Ablett? That's twice you've done it, just above and previously here: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=487247&p=15956494&hilit=Amblett#p15956494 Sounds good mind, Am-or, Am-bler, Am-blett

I just assumed it was an in-joke that I couldn't be bothered finding out about. You know, in the "Brain-Brian" thing that somebody does. McBanana-McNamara, McDoughnut-McDermott, or my personal favourite... CompleteAndUtterWasteOfSpace-Smith.

I'd be pleased with that. In the coming seasons we need to look at adding fresh meat into the halfs as mcguire and burrow get past it and if the opportunity to bring in class player arises we must take it.

So new signings for next year

Matai
cuthbertson
mooore
griffin
chase

Looking gooood.

Those who keep banging the "no announcement yet obviously means no signings" drum would do well to consider whether it only took Danny Washbrook a matter of hours to put together his move from Hull FC to Wakefield on Sunday night.
